In need of a brown paper bag!

1 minute read time.

Well it is the start of the school holiday's which means I now have no option but to get my act together and get the house tidied, the ironing done and clothes put away!  Well just typing that has used up all my energy.... so maybe I will start tomorrow! Joking aside, I am bone weary and feeling very low. I have accepted that cancer will always be part of my life.... and of course my death But I find myself thinking of the path the cancer will take. At the minute all is well, I can work, I am not in pain or discomfort so the nasty little thought creeps into my head "How long will before the cancer decides to spread further?" I can't talk to my husband, he is not well himself, and is dealing with his father's illness  and I do not want to burden my children . I suppose I am paying the price for being the strong silent stoic who just gets on with things. Oh well, I really can't moan too much, I am still here, I am still relatively healthy, I am in a much better position than many of you on here ( I don't mean that big headed I mean in terms of health) Must pop myself in a big brown paper bag and shake some sense into myself!  Or else I could try to do a double jointed job and kick myself up the backside. Oh and by the way the northwest will not be safe again on Sunday afternoons...my foot is healed and I can begin driving lessons again! Bolton and its environs is a no go area from 2.30 to 4.30....You have been warned!!!!

Take care all,

love  Kathxx

    Well Kath..luckily for me I live in Cornwall eh girl! I am the same as you, but I have secondary stomach, I wish i was able to get back to work and do my 10 mile power walks again, it will happen, I just have to wait.. I avoid 'what ifs' love because what ever is going to happen will and I won't waste my time worrying about what I have no control over and I must be double jointed because I am always kicking my own butt!!!!!! Go with the flow chic and good luck with those driving lessons....love Carol x

    Hi Kath,

    You are what I would call in remission,now give yourself a break and stop thinking I wonder when it will come back. I wonder if it will spread. It will come back I hope it dosent spread.But dont keep thinking about it, it just wont help, enjoy what you can do now and never mind the "What Ifs" All the

    best.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfields.xxx

    Hey Kath, glad you can get back driving, I have much faith in you, you WILL pass.

    I miss my job but my forgetfulness and struggling for words is not a good mix for a pre-school assistant dealing with upto 20 x 2-3 year olds :(

    I think we all get 'the dark thoughts' I know I do and I don't talk to my family about it cos hubby is still navigating his way down that famous river Denial and only my oldest son knows the full extent of how lethal Buttercup is.  

    But we are lucky to have this site cos we can say what we really mean on here and people understand.

    Oh I am more than happy to offer "butt kicking" services, my feet are only little (size 2.5 to 3) but they are pretty powerful ;)

    Love & strength

    Hi Kath, I guess we all have our down days. Try not to dwell on things too much. Easier said than done I know.

    Hope you are feeling a bit more upbeat soon.

    Happy motoring.
